    Mechanistic insight into the conserved allosteric regulation of periplasmic proteolysis by the signaling molecule cyclic-di-GMP

    Debashree Chatterjee, Richard B Cooley ... Holger Sondermann
    Structure-function analyses reveal the mechanistic underpinnings of inside-out transmembrane signaling that controls periplasmic proteolysis, and thereby biofilm formation, in bacteria and may be relevant in the context of other signaling proteins with similar control elements.

    Catalytic activity and autoprocessing of murine caspase-11 mediate noncanonical inflammasome assembly in response to cytosolic LPS

    Daniel C Akuma, Kimberly A Wodzanowski ... Igor E Brodsky
    Caspase-11 catalytic activity and autoprocessing play key roles upstream rather than downstream of its assembly into higher-order inflammasome complexes in response to cytosolic bacterial lipopolysaccharide.
